Why do women wear yoga pants everywhere?

[Anonymous]

I'm a SAHM but even with three kids I can still manage to put on a dress, even on laundry day. It's not a Herculean feat, it takes about five minutes!

I honestly think that many moms, including many on DCUM, want to dress like their 4- and 5-year-old daughters in leggings and oversized shirts because mid-40s are around the corner and/or arrived, but they are afraid to grow up.

Dress age appropriately and you'll look better. I'm not trying to shame anyone, I'm just telling you that you look ridiculous to people of all ages. You're broadcasting that you either: 1, don't know how bad you look, 2, are deluding yourself that you can look 23 again, or 3, just don't care. All bad messages. If you're over 35, you should have put the leggings away a decade ago.

Not if you have an awesome butt.

Don't wear them at a nice eating establishment, please, but as long as all the bits and pieces are covered or at least not highlighted I seldom notice them. HOWEVER- last week there was a mom picking up her child at an Arlington Montessori school wearing skin tight gray yoga/workout pants and a tight little top. She has a nice body and is proud of it. But she may as well have been wearing flashing neon suspenders pointing at her crotch. Half a block away you could see that crotch approaching. No one is looking at your awesome abs when you are offering up your lady bits like a "parental guidance suggested" anatomy lesson, scaring gay men everywhere. Please, Arlington Montessori mom, switch out the pants or wear a longer shirt.

You need to spend some time reading this site and not hating yourself:

It has nothing to do with hating the female body, idiot. It's about common decency. The same goes for the outline of male genetalia in spandex, in public. Is there a large dick project we should check out, too?

Come on, people, 8 pages and no one has addressed this? If anyone knows the large dick project link, let us know!

And don't just post a Jon Hamm link, that's too easy.

The producers of that show are in their 20s and 30s. You may think that you have an "awesome butt" but obviously millenials disagree.

Because I'm a yoga and Pilates teacher and I teach anywhere from 2-4 classes a day. They are my work clothes and I happen to look fantastic in them.

I look great and feel great. Sorry if anyone can't handle that.

Man here and I disagree. Many 40+ women look great in them. Legs. Ass. Crotch. Thanks for showing it off, ladies.

My husband loves yoga pants too. ha!

I took my kids to the local playground last weekend.

Told my wife yesterday that every single mom there, without exception, was wearing yoga pants, and that if she'd been there without yoga pants she would have been out of uniform.

I'm a yoga teacher too, but I'm sure this thread is directed at women who live in them - without even doing yoga/working out.

Nobody is staring at your flabby, wrinkled, over-40 ass. But you can fantasize that men are still interested in you as much as you like.

Uniforms are for school kids and the military. Moms and adults everywhere should not be so quick to drink the kool aid. If all the moms there jumped in the lake, would you want your wife to do it too?

Your husband LOVES the way I look in my yoga pants. Do the frumpy neighborhood harpies? Not so much. Makes me wear them even more often!

And if you don't ---that would be most everyone -- please you look like you are in your pjs. And the rolls you apparently do not see -- others do! and your camel toe, just ewww.

I used to wear my pjs out, but now wear yoga pants. I can always go back to wearing my flannel pjs. I don't care in the least.

I wear yoga pants in public when I am doing errands before or after yoga class. That is all.
